prac- tically the administrative county of london was found to be 4211743 showing an increase of 396199 or 104 per cent upon 1881 as compared with an increase of 117 per cent for the whole of england and wales this difference is referred to by the report as a notable fact inasmuch as it is the first timo that such a phenomenon has presented itself london having been found in every preceding intercensal period to havo gained more or less in its propor- tions as compared with the country at urge the report continues suggestion has been mads that the explanation of this apparent relaxation in tho growth ot load on scorn pared with tin- country at large may he in the fact that the census of 1811 waa taken only a week after easter day when a number of per sona who had gone away for an easter holiday had nu come back from the coun try it is possible that this may have had some slight effect upon the enumerated population in those quarters that are mainly inhabited by tho class that is wealthy enough to take prolonged holidays but it is difficult to suppose that it could have hod any sensible effect upon tno stggregate population of the whole townespecially when it is recollected that ir many londoners migrate at easter into the country many countrymen on the other hand pay a visit at that season to london how the pkople mvje from the section of the report dealing with habitations we find that according to the returns there were altogether in eng land and wales 5451497 inhabited houses besides 372181 uninhabited and j8337 in course of building the average number of occupants to each inhabited house was 532 against 533 in 1831 and 533inl87i no material change there fore has occurred in the last 20 years in the proportion borne by population to house- the proportion varies of course greatly in different areas being highest naturally jo great towns where space is valuable and the houses are of large size but for each individual town the proportion has remained fairly constant a table which gives the proportion for london and all municipal towns with mere than 100000 inhabitants shows that such change as has occurred in the proportions is in a direction that suggests diminished crowding the proportion of persona per house being with two exceptions lower in alt these towns in 1801 than it was in issi with regard to tenements by which was rr5d any house or part of a house faj occupied either by the owner or by a tenant the total number in england and wales wasl31j0i which gives with a population of 20002525 an average of 17 persons to each tenement and of 112 tenements or distinct occupancies to each inhabited house no ewer than 431653 of the tenement are brought under the definition of overcrowded and in them dwelt 3253044 persons
